Eggnog Poke Cake with Salted Caramel

I had such a fabulous time in California with my family at Disneyland, and thank you very much to all those who wished us well and to those lovely ladies who guest posted right here in my absence. I feel so loved.

If you’re a fan of eggnog, or cake, or salted caramel, then you’re going to simply flip over this lovely Eggnog Poke Cake.

There is just something about Eggnog that makes the holidays that much merrier.

I can’t drink too much of it because it’s so rich, but using eggnog in place of milk for some white chocolate pudding mix completely changes everything. It’s an exquisite dessert by itself, but infused into a warm French Vanilla Cake, then topped with Salted Caramel and whip cream, and it’s practically mind blowing.

I wasn’t going to do the Salted Caramel but my son changed my mind.

I would say, “I am going to make an Eggnog Poke Cake tonight guys!”

Then my son would quickly reply, “With Salted Caramel.”

It wasn’t a question, more of just a statement. Like I forgot to add it to the end of my sentence. After this happened three times I figured the boy was right. It needed some Salted Caramel. So it was done.

Boy was he spot on.

Maybe I should run things by my 5 year old more often…

This cake is ultra moist, and full of that rich eggnog flavor that makes long lines at the store, and 3 feet of snow seem bearable.

I see a lot of snow in my future.

And a lot of cake.

Eggnog is a great way to get your daily dose of Milk, and lucky for you Shamrock Farms and Arizona Milk Producers have a beautiful gift basket full of kitchen goodies and $50 in free Shamrock Product coupons!

Shamrock Farms is one of the largest family-owned dairies in the US, it’s products are available Nationwide, and it just so happens to be located right here in Arizona. They are the ones with that adorable cow, Roxie, on the front!

They not only have regular milks, but tons of flavored milks, creams, sour cream, cottage cheese, and of course… eggnog!

First of all, yay Disneyland! Glad you guys had a great time Second of all, this poke cake looks incredible, Shawn! Eggnog is far too rich for me to drink regularly, but I have a feeling I’d have no problems eating half this cake that caramel sauce looks glorious!

I only buy unsalted butter so how much salt would I need to add to it to make the salted caramel? It’s too cold for me to run to the store for salted butter plus i’d never use it again. Unless I made another one of these cakes <3

Wow, never heard of Eggnog Poke Cake with Salted Caramel, sounds and looks delicious, printed off the recipe and will certainly be trying this one very soon, going out to buy the rest of the ingredients today for this recipe, thanks for sharing!!!

I made this for thanksgiving and it was good but very rich so cut small pieces I did have a little problem with the caramel sauce, when I made it as I was putting the heavy cream in it tried to clump on me so I turned the stove back on to low and whished it until it was smooth so from then on it was a keeper. This was my first time at making caramel so you can take it from there LOL

Great recipe. Only change I made was the cool whip. And made my own yellow cake. Eliminating hydrogenated oils from my diet is a must and organic heavy cream whipped to a cloud works much better and is much healthier on this cake.

Hi, I'm Shawn and I'm a busy mom of four; pretending to live on a budget. I love to cook, and explore new recipes, but they have to be quick and easy with as few dishes as possible. Cause when it comes down to the end of the day the last thing I want to do is the dishes so, I Wash...You Dry! [Read More …]
